Sky are telling customers it does include Quest
This is what @SkyUK customers see when logging into their account this evening. @Eurosport_UK and @QuestTV are BOTH affected. pic.twitter.com/kLu58dDwHK

Especially when it's obstructing the score graphics.
Ooh, that's a thought, are any of the channels Sky exclusive, and therefore now scheduled to be axed as a result of this?
Really don't see any class in doing that - fine during studio action or the ads, but to do so during live sport is abusing their position as rights holder to the event IMO.

Hmm....
No surprise that all Discovery channels will get pulled off Sky, but Quest won't suffer much of a ratings slump thanks to the obvious Freeview slot it's got. Same can't be said for the rest of the Discovery channels, where limited availability will drag down the overall reach.

TLC +2 is a Sky exclusive according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_stations_in_the_United_Kingdom#Discovery_Networks_UK

To be fair, it wasn't live, and they put tickers over live coverage with scores from other matches, or to direct people to the other channel when a match starts there.

No comfort to fans of the sports shown on Eurosport when Discovery will still hold the rights to all of them, hardly a like for like replacement.
I do think Sky plugging Sky Sports Mix just highlights the conflict of interest between being a channels platform and a channel provider.

Just a +2 channel? Wow, thought for sure they wouldn't all be on cable.

I suspect that services like TV Player will do well out of this. They carry most of the Discovery channels
along with Eurosport 1 & 2 for a fiver a month, and the Amazon Fire TV app works a treat.
I've wondered about the legalities of TV Player. (Although this is perhaps worthy of its own thread). Do the various broadcasters whose channels are available on TV Player, licence the rights for 3rd party streaming of their channels to the owners of TV Player, or do they legally take a dim view like a number of major broadcasters did with regards to TV Catchup a few years ago.
